29 “Now, Sovereign Lord, you are letting your slave go in peace+ according to your declaration, 30 because my eyes have seen your means of salvation*+31 that you have prepared in the sight of all the peoples,+32 a light+ for removing the veil from the nations+ and a glory of your people Israel.”

5 When, now, both Silas+ and Timothy+ came down from Mac·e·doʹni·a, Paul began to be intensely occupied with the word, witnessing to the Jews to prove that Jesus is the Christ.+6 But after they kept on opposing him and speaking abusively, he shook out his garments+ and said to them: “Let your blood be on your own heads.+ I am clean.+ From now on I will go to people of the nations.”+

19 But I ask, Israel did not fail to know, did they?+ First Moses says: “I will incite you to jealousy through that which is not a nation; I will incite you to violent anger through a foolish nation.”+
